People will never accept trans-humanism, look how they reacted to the first feeble steps towards it. They completely shit themselves over steroids.

myostatin inhibitor are the first steps towards trans-humanism, not steroids.

Pic related. Its what happened when scientist created a mouse with its myostatin blocked.

There was a thing on tv about a kid who was born with a mutation in which the he has a naturally occurring myostatin inhibitor. The kid was like 3 and was as strong as n 8 year old.

At first, I was unsure of what I was looking at. But that's rather fascinating. How might one go about inhibiting myostatin? Or, more to-the-point, how does it occur in the body in the first place?

OP, you're an idiot.
Just taking steroids won't make you big, you still need to work out really damn hard.

>> No.2561387

>>2561369
Not exactly sure, but I know it could possibly be inhibited through drugs or other means since they have done it to animals such as cows & mice. An example of a difference in myostatin between humans and other animals is that apes have 92% less myostatin then humans, which is why scientists believe they are substantially more naturally muscular, and incredibly strong.

Actually, those born with the myostatin inhibitor incinerate calories, and have very low body fat percentages. I'm trying to find the show I was talking about with the kid who was born with the naturally occurring inhibitor.

Here is the video about the kid who was born with a naturally occuring myostatin inhibitor.

Having muscle with this wont make you slower, the inhibitor also effects other aspects such as the metabolism and your cardiovascular system. People born with this gene are shown to be much more naturally athletic and energetic than people without.

Well I'm not sure how far away they are from having permanent solutions for it, but I do know they are going to begin testis certain drugs that inhibit myostatin, so for any of you that are looking for it, i'd watch ads for test subjects at universities.

Prepare to adjust your diet to compensate for the drain from the increased muscle mass. Be careful to keep your energy intake up; you will have a much lower reserve compared to a human with a "normal" amount of myostatin.

That's just a small part of it. They'd still be stronger than humans even if muscle mass were the same. Their muscles attach further down the bone and the fibers are optimized for strength rather than endurance.

sexual tension won't be the same after using it on drugs x)

>> No.2561609

>>2561585
well it increases it BUT it affect your ability to perform

so you get really horney and turned on but unable to fuck.

this is the key to using roids as you have to channel that energy into a contructive output i.e excercise.

but if you sink into a pit of sexual frustration and do nothing it starts to fuck with your mind as well.

no sex and no excersie and really turned on. you just go mental.

>> No.2561640

Most steroid users are irresponsible, they abuse the drug without care for the consequences because they are mainly niche users who benefit more from the effects than lose out from the side-effects, once more people start augmenting themselves then kant's categorical imperative will kick in and people will be more responsible.
